Looking for baskets for 9-hole tournament in August

July 7th, 2013, 07:55 PM

Dear Fellow Portland disc Golfers,

My name is Logan Sibbet and I am in need of some help. I am a volunteer organizing a 9-hole disc golf course and tournament August 24th in Damascus OR on a beautiful farm with views of 3 local mountains. The course and tournament are part of a larger, day-long music festival and fundraiser to support the land (read pay property taxes and keep it from being developed someday) through music, building community and by simply having a good time. The story behind the PDX Farm Fiesta can be found here: http://pdxfarmfiesta.com/about.html
I have designed a sweet 9 hole course on the farm but am having trouble securing the equipment necessary to make the course possible. I thought we were going to be able to secure baskets and possibly prize donations or discs from one of our vendors for the fiesta last year, but it is looking like that is not going to happen. Now I am searching for 9 baskets that community members would be willing to donate for use in the course on the 24th. I have already been able to secure a basket from one of our attendees last year, Josh Olmstead, and I will probably be purchasing one of my own in the next month, but in order to have this awesome disc golf course on the farm I need to secure 7 more baskets for the 24th of August. If you have a basket you would like to donate for day use or suggestions for where I might get them donated I would be most appreciative. At this point I am concerned I will not be able to secure the equipment needed to make the course playable. If you have a basket you would like to donate or any suggestions please contact me at 530.651.3315 or lsibbet@gmail.com

I'm going to jump in here to vouch for this fantastic event. I attended the Farm Fiesta last year and helped to run the 5-hole disc golf course that was set up. There was a great line-up of bands for the event, it was well run with good food, camping and company. I also helped with designing the 9-hole course for this year. If you would be able to help out with lending a basket, or simply to attend the event, your support would be greatly appreciated.

I'll see what I can do over the next paycheck or 2. I plan on getting a basket for my son and I to practice with. I'd gladly loan it for a chance to help the movement. PM me some info on getting a couple of tickets to the event as well. Love to go.
